about

The first single from the Human Abstract.
Written about a love that was selflessly lost in order to bestow a free life to a past love and the internal torment that follows a decision like that.

lyrics

I miss you
That moment we spent star gazing wasn’t spent lightly
That is something I remember every time I see the light from far suns spent nightly
You were curved around me, and I was curved around your finger
I still pray daily for the love from that moment to linger.
It’s bigger than us, and we spent a night soaking it all in, hoping we could fall in
To the moon’s gaze and drifted to a place between me and you.

Chorus:

You never go away, which I thank God for, because I still treasure that night, that kiss
I dream about you in colors that don’t exist, but you’re always slipping away into the mist
Your lips brushed a beautiful painting on mine, and I framed it and hung it in my heart
So that even though we’re apart, in mind and body, theres always that beautiful moment, that gorgeous start
Stark against a winter wind, in a warm place we loved
Built sincere affection on the earth’s cold infection
White washed water, we had each other’s eyes for reflection
The contrast almost ironic seeing how we slipped away and both became lukewarm to the heat of our bodies.

Chorus:

I can remember the day I asked you, and I can remember the candor we both had
Regardless of where we ended up, I don’t want you sad.
Your body haunts me at night, curved like the hills of the dessert
Words can’t contain the love I hand to you through my open letter
Letters are wasted daily on loves that abandon at the nearest pit stop
But every word of mine is measured to not waste a drip of ink but to relay my dots and dashes to you. I got tossed in matched with you so I’m here till my heart stops and collapses through.
This message is wax sealed and carried to you, through my mouth
I’ll love you till the sun and all the stars go out.

2bit hasn't had time to reinvent himself for college. He's been trying to talk with a British accent and a slight element of swagger to impress the ladies, but, let's face it; it hasn't been working.
So he goes back to his dismal room and makes new and unique music forms to release his frustration with all things frustrating.
